Answer 1

This is a easy way to send mails using Laravel.You can use this function on your controller. You have to make a blade template file as example "emailfile.blade.php" with what ever the details you want to show on the email and pass the variables to that blade using the inputs array as I mentioned below.
$inputs = array(
'name'=> 'Your Name',
'address' =>'Your Address',
'company' =>'Your Company',
);
Mail::send('emailfile', $inputs, function ($message) {
$message->from('sender#gmail.com', 'Sender Name');
$message->to('reciver#gmail.com',$name=null)->subject('Mail Subject!');
$message->cc('cc#gmail.com');
});
